The issue appears to have been fixed very quickly, with a Raspberry Pi Trading engineer advising that version 0.10 should be safe to download later on the same day.

It's rare for updates to Raspbian to cause these sort of problems, with Raspberry Pi Foundation having a reputation for offering the best software support available for single-board computers.

The foundation has invested a lot in updating the Pi's official Raspbian OS, employing dedicated staff to work on improving software over time: revamping the desktop, adding hardware acceleration for more media players, and upgrading the browser -- all while ensuring backward compatibility stretching right back to the very first Raspberry Pi.
